Dear all,

Just to add to this, hopefully everyone has seen the current controversy surrounding Karolinska Institute (http://www.nature.com/news/karolinska-institute-to-cut-ties-with-controversial-surgeon-1.19315 ) where the vice Chancellor cleared a surgeon of misconduct AFTER an independent investigation had found the surgeon guilty of misconduct in research

VBW,

Lloyd

Hi everybody,

I would like to draw your attention to a very important aspect in science – the truth, validity and ethics of our research results. There is a large article on scientific fraud in today’s Helsingin Sanomat (http://www.hs.fi/sunnuntai/a1454657055916#) and there will be a further discussion today at 12 in hs.fi/hstv in which the former chancellor of Helsinki University, Kari Raivio will discuss more on the issue.

Best wishes,

Peppi
